Kicker Brandon Ruiz is transferring from Arizona State for his final two seasons of eligibility.

Ruiz, who has not played this season due to what was called a lower extremity injury, announced his transfer Monday via social media. This year will count as a redshirt season for Ruiz.

Ruiz of Gilbert was ASU's kicker in 2017 and 2018, making 37 of 49 field goals including a 54-yarder, third-longest in school history, as a sophomore.

Ruiz was a high school All-American at Williams Field High School who committed to Alabama before switching to sign with ASU.
